swallow the sound
fill in the cracks
fake a pretty smile
pretend that this little girl rocks.
forget that you are broken
remember to put on the mask
smile, baby girl
smile big and no one would ask.
no one would bother
no one would see
all the pain that glimmer
and the blood that flows free.
from your wrist to the floor
down the drain as you run to the door
damn the pain, damn the tears
is it too much to ask for more?
the dawn breaks and the shadows subside,
put on your happy face
and let your darkness hide.
let it rest for a while,
you have a new day to fake,
smile, little darling
for no one cares if you break.
